I have nothing to compare it to, but I love the idea of new trim being available! #A_Toast#

Nacho, is that a picture that a seller sent you?
I don't know if you remember, but in the past, I bought repro panels by both manufacturers. Palco and Accuform. I ended up selling off both types and using used panels. My choice of used panels obviously was easier since I was going with a black interior, which is not as hard to find in good condition. My opinion is that the Palco panels are the better of the two and would be OK if all the pieces are replaced.
It's been awhile....but I think the picture of the grain you have is a favorable/selective picture. It seems to me that that the panels I had, had some spots where the grain was very vague.
If I were in your shoes, I think I would find the best (not chaulky) light colored panels I could find.....and very lightly mist them with some SEMS, using an adhesion promoter. I would use the same SEMS on the seat backs, A pillar trim, and kick panels...to get a good overall color match.

the hardest part is trying to get a decent rear 74 piece what is an unique year production piece... and allong with those, bucket seats backs are the worst pieces on my car... fugly and even worst that I had to paint because they were yellowed... paint is not holding on plastic due they are chalky
I'm waiting for AZBOB on ebay quote for a FULL MATCHING SET to my car ( 2 weeks and still nothing ). He was the only guy offering the right 74 piece with the extra trim fro seatbelt retractor... not anymore on his ebay shop on line though
My lower doors ar still REALLY good but I know they will begin pretty soon to be damaged. my side is getting worn around the arm rest due the friction with my body, jeants etc... arm rest got one small crak already.
the pic is from an ebay auction panels which is allmost ready to end. I requested a closer pic to check the grain pattern and he emailed me. Price is really nice at this moment!!!!, but I'm afraid grain pattern won't match with the pieces azbob can get me in a full package set.

Be careful. If those are the repros I purchased they are awful. They are thin, don't fit properly and broke inside when I installed them. |

Bob, do you know who made the ones you bought? I know there is..or has been...... at least 3 different manufacturers. PG Classic ($375).....Accuform or Palco....and now Metro. I don't want anything by Palco or accuform......sure as heck aint paying $400 for PG Beijing Classic panels.......so that leaves the Metro as a possible alternative. Palco and Accuform products are usually of distinctly inaccurate grain/texture.. Not wasting any more of my $$ on their crap, then re-selling at a loss.  |

Ya know Tom, a friend decided he wanted them to use on his and I gave them to him. He said they didn't fit his Chally either. I didn't recognize the name so I am going to say either the Palco or Accuform. They were VERY flimsey (sp). Had I taken mine off BEFORE I purchased these, I would have piced them up and said NO WAY. They were clearly lighter. Live and learn eh? Bob, do you know who made the ones you bought? I know there is..or has been...... at least 3 different manufacturers.

Live and learn for sure.......I know that I have lost/wasted a lot of money on reproduction pieces that I was not satisfied with to the extent that I re-sold the parts at significant loss, or just threw them out.
PUI seat covers, exterior door handles, and lower interior panels are items that come to mind quickly.
